Soldier need something new(no not yet ), I think any alpha from any soldier is bad enough, I think sols are perfect, Ok ok, you may be a boring class (all you can do is shoot and tms, thats all) , but when it comes to pvp, you deal the dmg and resist the dmg like no other.
Most alphas take me to half health points, or for instance a Razers.... Who said scopes dont help? This is a result..

Anything the helps you will make you more powerful than you already are, knowing funcom they wil probably nerf something of you first, but we gotta see what 14.2 does with crits, still...those with 15% scope and the best outside cirt will still have power.
I mean who needs that init when you can "alpha" :P
And this is to all you people who think Health points helped, maybe it will 14.2, but not now, I tell you, Everyone crits like a bad ass with crit buffs, even me, so HP Dont give a ****!
